I do not look down on physical labour but it is the truth that those who can afford to move up the ladder, move up the ladder. And the welfare of a group of people can be estimated on how much they have moved up the ladder. I hope you get it.
You think only Keralites go out to study? Please...
Da Patti! then explain how kerala's hdi was around 0.7 at the time of independence when India's was around 0.35 . Even today, India hasnt achieved the HDI index that Kerala had at the time of Independence. Dismal Performance isnt it?
Please dont post photos of Silk Smitha and Shakeela :rofl::rofl:
Simple! To study or to work. Nobody from Kerala goes to Chennai or anywhere in the country to do simple physical labour.
Now, why are there so many labourers from TN in Kerala? Is it that they are going away from a high GDP...
not much different from bangladesh? LOL. You make me ask this question. Are we as India so different from Bangladesh? Why is it that a poor in TN which has a higher income per capita has dismal conditions when compared to a poor in Kerala? Why is it that Gujarat with such an impressive growth...
Sorry,food and what? Didnt get the second part. :D
TN depends on Kerala for water. Dude, it is not as if we guys are competing, we are depending on each other. Sort of a symbiotic relationship.
Show me the stats about HDI in Chennai and I will agree with you. I bet that Idukki will have better HDI than Chennai.
It helps when people dont take a dump in the open. Go to sabarimala and see what the pilgrims from TN have done to the place. Last time I went there, nearly puked. The...
This is partly bullshyt. I was in Shanghai sometime earlier and I noticed one thing: Anything Western Sells!
If you want a girl to go with you? Act as if you just came back from Europe or America.
Well, on the American part, they have remained curious about other cultures. But the impact the...
Compare the literacy rates. It is not just the government. The people have to be progressive and forward looking as well. Plus there is the issue of Bangladesh and Naxalbari. Kerala is well insulated from all this. It is better to compare West Bengal to the states in its neighbourhood like Bihar...
But what is a high GDP aiming to achieve? A really high standard of living right? Now, if you have a way of getting that standard of living with a mediocre GDP, then why run behind the high GDP figures? Ever thought about that?
Regarding the soft drink part, it is the reaction of the people...
Well, considering Kerala had a very high HDI to begin with. The HDI was around 0.7 at the time of Independence. I dont think there was any foreign remittance then was there? Now hypothetically considering that the population had remained stable since Independence, there wouldn't be this exodus...
I think most of the welfare is attributed to grassroots level politics. This of course leads to a lot of small strikes, but it helps keep the struggle of the working class alive. Also, Kerala has the most conscious voters in the country probably because of the exposure to media. It is not just...
I say they hold on to the Italians. If they were running an illegal tour company, they have to rot in Indian jails anyway. Damn, what is with these Italians?
Kerala: A Case Study
Gross national product is often used as a synonym for achievement, but it is also an eloquent shorthand for gallons of gasoline burned, stacks of garbage tossed out, quantities of timber sawn into boards. One recent calculation showed that for every American dollar or its...
That son of a female dog makes a weird Indian accent and after a while it starts to piss me off.
Actually I dont understand one thing. The americans make fun of the Indians with an accent that isnt remotely Indian. It is kind of funny :)
Accepting one's fault is the first step towards rectifying it. Indians accept the fact that we are backward when compared to the rest of the world and we need to push forward with all our might to make it up there. This is the prime reason that we are developing. There is awareness among the...
